With the current housing crisis and the saturation of homes on the market, it is imperative for your home to stand out among the rest. Curb appeal is the first step to securing a buyer. It has to have that WOW factor. When a potential buyer signs the contract, they normally hire a home inspector to look beyond the WOW factor to make sure they are purchasing a quality home.
As a seller, there are many ways to make sure the home will continue to WOW the prospective buyer, even after the inspection is complete. Greater Chicagoland Home Inspection is proud to offer tips on how to prepare your home for inspection.
TIP #7
If the property being sold is not currently occupied, make sure all of the utilities including electric, gas and water are on. The home inspector will be testing all systems including the heating and cooling system, the hot water tank, electric and other systems. Without these on, the inspector cannot continue testing and will result in an incomplete inspection. This will delay the release of the inspection and will delay closing.
